Elizabeth Krummenacker
Elizabeth Krummenacker’s career may have started in the restaurant business, but she transitioned to a completely different role in healthcare. The alumna says it was her NYIT education that gave her the unique ability to successfully adapt to new situations.
Tom Scerbo
Two years ago, Scerbo assumed a new role as vice president and managing principal for the New York Metro Building & Places division of AECOM, a multinational Fortune 500 integrated design and construction company.

You may have seen Shepard Fairey’s striking illustration showing a woman wearing an American flag as a hijab. But did you know the photograph it is based on has connections to NYIT?
Cindy Bredefeld
What I love about my career is that I am a clinician, a clinical researcher, and a clinical educator: I teach trainees of all levels—internal medicine residents as well as endocrinology fellows.

Rana ElKassem
Rana ElKassem has a rare perspective of NYIT. She first became acquainted with NYIT-Abu Dhabi as a graduate student in 2015. Now she is an alumna and works full-time as the associate director of Employer and Alumni Relations.
Jill Wruble
JILL WRUBLE, D.O., has many stories to tell. She is a radiologist, a former U.S. Army major, a faculty member at two medical schools, a mother, an endurance athlete, and a guitarist. Three years ago, Wruble started a new story. She became concerned with the explosion of “incidentalomas”—abnormalities that appear on tests ordered for a different purpose and which trigger a cascade of additional medical testing. “This phenomenon yields not only unnecessary patient anxiety but also extraordinary and disproportionate expense,” Wruble explains. “Less than 1 percent of these abnormalities are significant, but overall, pursuing them is harmful and very costly.” Those costs add up: to more than $200 billion a year.

Wafa Bengra
One of the biggest misconceptions people have about Wafa Bengra’s role as a digital communications specialist is that she is an expert in all areas of communications. “What’s really true is that we work as a team in harmony,” Bengra explains. “Communications is a mix of art and science, and this is where I find the beauty of it all. Everyone has his or her own specialty, in addition to being able to work together to deliver the final art piece.”
Andrea Klemes
“I got such a good education that I was ahead of the other residents.”
